Clinical Pathology and the Future of Precision Diagnostics

Abstract

Thu Long*

Clinical pathology is an integral part of modern medicine, focusing on diagnosing and managing diseases through laboratory testing. Traditionally, clinical pathology encompasses a broad range of tests, including blood, urine, and tissue examinations, to evaluate the underlying causes of a patient’s symptoms. However, the field has evolved rapidly over the past few decades, and one of the most exciting developments is the rise of precision diagnostics. Precision diagnostics is a revolutionary approach that aims to tailor medical care to the individual characteristics of each patient, including genetic, molecular, and environmental factors. This shift from generalized to personalized medicine has far-reaching implications for clinical pathology and the future of healthcare.
